Katie Price and Russell Kane make Let’s Dance for Comic Relief final

Katie Price and
Russell Kane made it through to the final of Let’s Dance for Comic Relief, after performing as Freddie Mercury and
Beyonce Knowles.

Katie Price’s performance of Queen’s I Want to Break Free saw her through to BBC’s Let’s Dance final

Comedian Kane won the public vote after dressing as Beyonce to dance to Crazy In Love in the opening heat of the BBC One show, while glamour model Katie progressed thanks to the judges.

Graham Norton and Frank Skinner both decided Jordan’s routine to Queen’s I Want To Break Free was better than Waterloo Road duo Rebecca Ryan and Philip Martin-Brown’s performance of Run DMC’s It’s Like That.

Katie even sported a moustache and hairy armpits for the show

Katie’s appearance as Mercury dressed in drag – complete with stockings and suspenders, fake breasts, moustache and underarm hair – didn’t feature much dancing, but the judges seemed to appreciate the attempts at humour.

A typically cutting Norton told her: ‘You are as good at dancing as everything else you do.’

Skinner complimented Katie on managing to look ‘really sexy with a moustache’, while third judge Greg Davies made the mistake of asking whether the body hair was real.

Russell Kane also wowed crowds with a sassy performance of Beyonce’s Crazy in Love

In a rather surprising pre-watershed reply, the mum-of-three said: ‘I can assure you I’m hairless everywhere.’

The first heat of the charity fundraiser also featured designers Colin and Justin performing Xanadu, Ed Byrne and Arlene Phillips dancing to We Love To Boogie, and Rebecca Front as Bjork.
